Abandon the habit. Take a soothing medicine to counteract nervous excitement. Avoid
the company of smokers. Divert the mind to some busy activity. Do not give the mind idle
leisure. Study hygienic principles, the laws of good health and ideal life. Impress well upon the
mind the ruinous effect of tobacco upon the human system. Observe Ahimsa, Satyam and
Brahmacharya. Study spiritual texts and contemplate on their meaning. Practice Asan and
Pranayam. Remember God always. All evil traits will vanish.
